Building a Living Space Elevator

Every other nation spend their time building infrastructure, establishing new cities and doing other things you would expect from someone just given new land. Not these guys. These weirdos, the Horror Faction, as they are lovingly know these days, spent all that time engineering this massive creature in the center of their country and doing nothing else worth attention. No roads, no cities, nothing. We made fun of them a bit, but who cares how inefficiently other nations spent their time really.
Except that after a few years, after everyone else had a passable civilization going, the Horror Faction activated their strange creature and it built everything they needed in a casual afternoon. It grew entire cities, filled fields with expanding factories of flesh and sprouted and connected a fully functional living space elevator. After that we kind of got used to just letting them do their thing and wait and see what else this creature can do, if it's ever activated again.

So that's a little bit of lore from a game I'm making in my free time and this illustration will be used in game to explain this stuff and more. The game in it's early version is available here for free, for windows: https://ultra-shenanigans.itch.io/human-upgrade-labs
